More laughs. Name recognition matters. A few years ago I was defending Groce, because he hadn't had any time to recruit and like Weber he did a good job with the previous coach's players. You don't fire a basketball coach after 2 years. You're just a whining because they didn't choose who you think they should have been looking at. PJ Fleck could fall flat on his face outside of the MAC. You also want Illinois to consider a coach (Peilini) who said "fuck you" to the fans. In case you haven't seen the attendance at MS or SFC, the last thing IL needs to hire is a coach that alienates fans.

No, I thought someone else suggested that. Illinois football fans are so hopeless after the last 8 years

Now, this is a fantastic hire. Great recruiter. Also what Rittenberg doesn't say is that McGee eventually transferred and graduated from Oklahoma. Stoops/OK tried to lure McGee away last season and couldn't do it. Lovie just got a job done that Stoops couldn't. I guess Lovie has been out of the college game too long. Whoops!

I was really hoping to hear 'Rex is our quarterback coach.'

McGee really helped Mallet at Arkansas from what I understand, so my guess is you may hear "Wes Lunt is our quarterback, and we'll go from there."

Yeah, the fans deserved it. Nebraska fans were idiots.More laughs. Name recognition matters.

LOL nice attempted spin here. Louisville threw a bunch of money at McGee to stay at Louisville. He got a raise that paid him more than OU would have given him. He stayed for the money...and I'd bet he followed the dollar signs along with the Smith connection to Illinois as well.
Keep sippin that Kool Aid bruh.

What he followed was that Lovie will likely let him run the offense, as opposed to Petrino, who probably had his hands in that side of the ball regularly. He just took one of the most coveted offensive coordinators/recruiters in the college game and you made excuses.

Are you a mod for the Illini football IGT? The students probably just go along with it when you lock their threads.

I do some work on campus. Those fucking students don't just go along with anything about anything. If I lockup a door they want open they tear the lock and or door apart.

Should be interesting to see how Lovies defensive philosophy translates at the college level, he does have some decent talent there. The front 4 for the D is a legitimate strength with Smoot projected as a 1st rnd pick in the 2017 draft. I hope he is successful.
